After Burnes signed with Arizona I'm seeing Pablo headed to Baltimore. They went the rental route but I think they may want more security this time around. Basallo and McDermott coming the Twins way? Just a hunch here.

Prospects aren't just for storing away in a cache, Use them to acquire already talent too. Even though the Mahle trade didn't workout that is a decent example.

Like Detroit signing Gleybar Torres this morning? That's a good solid addition by Detroit to address some weakness. No it's not superstar move. But he at least is an attempt to make Detroit better. I don't think any of us are expecting a top5 signing every year. Royals have added. Tigers have added. Cleveland has shuffled some pieces around. CWS has made moves that could change their future. Twins have drafted a rule 5 pitcher who has pitched 40 innings above A ball. But we're left with "the Twins would have made the post season if they hadn't collapsed at the end. Hope we've learned from that." The '84 Twins collapsed at the end too and it took them 2 full seasons to recover. And it took the additions of Reardon, Berenguer, Gladden, Blyleven, Newman, etc to become a real contender.

Yep, sometimes real life is just diaharea.

I take it Falvey and Zoll are not going to give us a Boxing Day gift this year?

Rickey imo was unquestionably the best player of the 80's. As a Twins fans I couldn't stand him. His confidence came off as arrogance. But as a baseball fan he was the best in the game. He called himself the greatest of all time. He had good reason to believe that and ranked right up there. There were few at his level all-time. Mays would be, maybe Mantle without injuries and Clemente had he lived longer.

I thought it was a good article Tom,Thanks for writing it. It's an article written about an insignificant trade is all. I don't think its a bad trade, just insignificant. Sums up the off-season so far.

Or "No Satisfaction"

No way. Moran's coming back off of TJ and he'll be slinging bullets. Visions of sugar plums dancing in his head.

When it comes to the Stones and describing the Twins I'll go with a 1969 tune, "No Expectations"

Twins fans have been extra nice this year, should be another lump coming our way.

This was a salary dump by the Twins
-
The reality is Chicago will be better this year, and some of their improvement will come against the Twins too. Right now we've added nothing. Nothing. But we've lost two of our four best fielders. Kepler and Santana. We've lost one of our top 5 hitters. Santana and added nothing. We don't catch the ball for squat or perform fundamental baseball tasks for squat or have basic situational hitting. We're not as good as we were last season when we won 82 games. We played something like .370 ball against winning teams. Then we clamor that we should trade from the one strength that allows us to actually compete, our starting pitching. Frustrating.

If only we could play 162 games against the white Sox and angels, we'd be WS bound.
-
Jeffers would be my best guess when he's playing.

Twins Daily can subtract Eloy Jimenez from it's most coveted list.
-
In my honest opinion the budget thing has been blown out of proportion, if the set 130mil even exists. Why was Castro even tendered if it is? Paddock could have been easily moved for someone's low A flier if it was. Even Vazquez with some money going to the other team would have been moved. New acquisitions? Yeah I think the FO's hands are tied without players being moved out. I'm still believing that almost all of our moves are in house ones. Next off season could be very different.
-
That's just it David, every position has question marks. Big ones and that includes SS and CF with all of the injuries they have. I mean take 3B and 2B for example. Lee and Lewis. One has superstar written all over him but can't stay healthy. The other we have no idea if he can hit at the ML level. 2024 he didn't.
-
But here we have our FO sitting on its bum. Once they get up off of it they will spread a little peanut butter on it to entice the other GM's that did the same. Then we will go into panic mode and acquire the next DeSclafani and Margot and believe their peanut butter trick worked.
-
I have been looking at Kim for a number of days now. This is one player that would truly help the team once he is cleared to play. Problem is no money allowed for additions.
-
I concur with Dr gast. The time is now for Miranda and any additions are a moot point until trades are made to trim the budget. As far as the budget goes I speculate that they may have been given the leeway to be over 130mil, but no go ahead to add to the team without subtractions. That's why we see no additions. But as for Miranda, play him or trade him. That is only fair to the player. Don't play him at 3B, needs to be 1B. But we see what trading Wade did.
-
These unfortunately aren't workable solutions. I'd be fine with Wade, but yeah you likely need a partner for him and its not Miranda. But then what do you do with Miranda? 3B again? I'd prefer not. You'd likely have to trade Miranda now, or probably should. Polanco? Lets not even try this. Julien? His glove work is the pink elephant in the room that nobody wants and the league found out how to pitch to him in 2024 and he couldn't recover.
